Overall Rating
Excellent
This lovely café in Walthamstow is fully step-free, has delicious food and drinks, a good accessible toilet and exceptionally lovely staff. Five stars richly deserved.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Step-free throughout, with plenty of wheelchair-friendly tables.
Parking & Transport
Good
Walthamstow bus station is near by, as is Walthamstow Central Station, which is step-free for London Overground but NOT step-free for the Victoria Line, which terminates here.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
A good accessible toilet, a bit too cramped with excess bins, so turning space is limited. Initially I found the red emergency cord tied up at a very high level, but as soon as I mentioned this to staff they promptly untied it and put a sign on it asking people not to tie it up, as it needs to hang freely all the way to the floor in case anyone falls over and needs to summon assistance from the floor.
Staff
Excellent
All the staff I encountered were wonderfully friendly and helpful. Six stars!
Additional Information
This café and bakery has a non-commercial, community feel to it, the food is delicious, and the staff make it a really happy experience. A lovely place to visit. Strongly recommended.
